217: Seance of the Slightly Inebriated Dead (feat. Portia Davis, Ghus & Cam)
With Steve out this week, Sean summoned three of our oldest friends. Bruce Christopher (aka Portia Davis), Brandon Coulter (aka Ghus), and Cameron Gawne (resident zookeeper and horror nerd) for a boozy séance and horror hangout.They kick things off with some horror news, covering the upcoming Alien: Earth series, Robert Eggers' now confirmed to take on A Christmas Carol, and A24’s terrifying Backrooms adaptation.Then things get paranormal (and kind of unhinged) as they summon the souls of the dead via a spirit board game (a horror movie themed 20 Questions where each of them channels the ghost of a slain horror movie victim, and the others try to guess who died horribly. Spoiler..they get progressively drunker and worse at it.)So come for the news, stay for the chaos. Light a candle, pour a drink, and join the séance!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorBruce Christopher: @brucechristopher, Portia Davis on Music PlatformsBrandon Coulter: @bscoulter_, @Ghus_Music, Ghus on Music PlatformsCameron Gawne: @CollectivecammySean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

216: I Don't Understand You with filmmakers David Joseph Craig & Brian Crano
Hey Horror Fans!!!This week we are joined by David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the filmmakers (and real life couple) behind I Don’t Understand You, a sharp and offbeat dark comedy about an American couple navigating the adoption process while on vacation in Italy. As tensions rise and misunderstandings multiply, the film explores what it means to stay connected when everything around you starts to fall apart...and turn murderous!!We talk with David and Brian about drawing from their own journey toward parenthood, how they approached the story’s unique mix of humor and discomfort, and why they wanted to center a queer couple whose love isn’t in question. We also get into the pitch perfect performances from Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, the grounding warmth of Amanda Seyfried, and the joy of working with Italian legend Nunzia Schiano. Funny, tense, tender, violent and totally original, this is a conversation you wont want to miss about love under pressure, identity abroad, and the messy beauty of trying to be understood sooo....COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?
